    What credentials does this “Dave Van Zandt” have. What evidence is there that support his credibility?

    Scientific studies use it because it’s a dataset. Do you want me to point you to the hundreds of shitty datasets that people have used in the past for machine learning work?

      You claimed that you can’t find anything about the person behind that website, I obviously proved you wrong.

      If you want an honest debate I’d suggest to add something constructive instead of only asking questions.

      You can ask the same for any other person, institution or news agency.

        Everything about the author is what’s posted on the website. There’s no evidence to back it up: no record of graduation, no evidence of a degree. Dude could say anything and there would be no way to validate it.

        That’s not true for institutions or news agencies, where the journalists have very public records.
